lol, I hope that’s a good quality, brother. I suppose it could be dangerous in the wrong context.

Thank you, Jonathan, for letting me know that. You’ve got a knack for reading with analytical eyes and then offering a specific complement.

I love the story of that bull. It’s probably my favorite illustration of the yokes.

Wow. What a short and powerful post. The Lord has blessed you with doing a great job at hitting the heart of this issue in a very short time. One of your best posts, if you ask me.

We sad creatures tend to do a lot of that tugging and fighting… Thank God He is patient and longsuffering toward us!

A dear friend and I are often plagued with worry (including worry about being worried…), but God has been teaching us both to rely on Him and trust in Him. Sometimes like the father in Mark, we must turn to Him humbly and say, “Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief” (9:24) and wait on Him to give us the faith we need.

Many years ago, the Lord showed me that I am to yoke w/ Him for His yoke is light. When ever I feel burdened w/ my problems it is b/c i am improperly yoked. In other words I am trying to drag the Lord into my plans, & not letting Him lead. Once i surrender He takes over & lead. I use to halter break young bulls & the best plan was to yoke them w/ my 1 ton gentle bull. The young bulls would tug & fight to lead, but soon he learned that the old bull was bigger, stronger & wiser & soon he would surrender & let him lead. The results was peace & relaxation for us all & amazing pride from the young bull. I think worry is the same just give it to Jesus & you let Him lead & you have nothing to worry about b/c He is bigger, stronger & wiser.
